Really glad to find this section of the forum. I bought RR three years ago and started to read it, but ended up getting sober on my own mid-2010 for a little over 2 years. Recently, after 4 months indulging my Beast (as I now know it to be) I went back to a few program meetings but found myself even more strongly resistant to some of the basic tenets than I was last time. I remembered RR and picked it back up, getting further than the somewhat preachy (ironic lol) introduction this time. By chapter 4 I knew AVRT was the right approach for me. I haven't had a drink in a week and though I've had some tough moments (and know there will be more), I feel I already have the basic tools to get control of the urge.
I guess that was my long winded way of saying Hi
